Hi all,

Currently I had several watches to rotate and daily wearer still not subC yet as still precious. Work in marine line where environment is quite harsh and a bit heart pain at the moment to use SubC. My earlier Tag was precious in the beginning too but well it had been my daily wearer for 6 years and now I am comtemplating to switch to my subC as daily wearer. Tag had been well used and abused in my line.

Have all of you taken special caution when wearing the sub or just let it subject to knock and abuse? When I saw most of the pictures posted here, the condition of the watches are all very well and I believe if I wear my subC daily, i dont think my subC will be that neat a condition as compared with the pictures, how did you guys do it? Maybe your working environment not too harsh?

Sub 16610 and GMT II 16710 are my daily wearer alts pretty much for now. Special ocassions I'll grab the daytona or YM.

Watch Professor · 7 May 2011, 10:30 PM

I wear my 16610 in rotation with the GMT IIC and Omega Speedmaster. I try to sneak in my 2 Seiko Monsters once in a while, but they have a tough time breaking into the basic rotation. But if I had to add up all of the time for each, I would say that the Sub gets the most time.

Old Blue · 7 May 2011, 10:51 PM

My sub-c . 24/7/365.

Dan2010 · 7 May 2011, 11:02 PM

Yep, my daily wearer. The best damn sport watch there is.

HDHNTER · 7 May 2011, 11:12 PM

Sub C is my daily as well and I don't see that changing for a very long time.

my 16613 never leaves my wrist (except when it's in for servicing). some might say, a serti dial sub is not an ideal daily beater, but it's all i can afford

Tunacan26 · 8 May 2011, 03:26 AM

My Hulk and Tudor Heritage sorta share time.....

rolexertion · 8 May 2011, 03:33 AM

Yes!

vh_bu98 · 8 May 2011, 04:22 AM

Yes when I had the LV and yes with the YM. Why not I say?

mrbill2mrbill2 · 8 May 2011, 04:31 AM

16610 almost everyday.

klayface · 8 May 2011, 09:28 AM

Now it is! After wearing my new daytona for 2 weeks its going back into the box and the sub is going to get more wrist time while the daytona is going to be for special days.

ibramr · 8 May 2011, 09:46 AM

GMT 16710 every day, and 14060 weekend. Sometimes, it is the reverse order.

Tools · 8 May 2011, 09:47 AM

I don't need an occassion to wear a Sub...........

astrazen · 8 May 2011, 09:54 AM

If I had a Sub it would be my daily wearer. For now its the Daytona (white).

Dr. Robert · 8 May 2011, 10:07 AM

not an every day watch......only when I dive

wdalew5 · 8 May 2011, 10:31 AM

unless I am at work, there is some kind of SUB on my wrist..Sometimes I get in to the Omega mood ....G shock while at work......

Rolexavidfan · 8 May 2011, 11:23 AM

Sub C - 3 - 4x a week, the rest of the week SS Daytona and other brands

TopNotchChach · 8 May 2011, 02:30 PM

Yes, my sub c is my daily wearer... Until I get my Pam and insurance!

RollieKid · 8 May 2011, 03:15 PM

My SubC LV is my weekend watch...

Sparky1970 · 8 May 2011, 03:20 PM

Submariner is my weekend watch, seamaster through the week.

Tri-Tip · 8 May 2011, 04:55 PM

Usually 4 out of 5 work days, and on and off on the weekend depending on the activity and destination.

St Thomas 16610 · 8 May 2011, 05:30 PM

Only have the one Rolex...and yep its on everyday except when sailing or surfing...then its the Seiko Sports 5 (lost a brand new Sub 16800 surfing 30 years ago and will never risk it again!) .

Ricco · 8 May 2011, 08:50 PM

Submariner and subc, whats the difference?

dddrees · 8 May 2011, 09:48 PM

My Sub LY is one of my daily wearers.

gregory estero · 8 May 2011, 10:03 PM

Sub everyday as well.

AJMarcus · 8 May 2011, 10:04 PM

My SS Sub C has become my all around watch and gets most wrist time. It's so darn comfortable and has it all. And the lume really works!!!!!

They are all essentially the same watch, but different editions. The Sub refers to the Submariner without a date. The Sub Date is one of the earlier editions with date and metal bezel. The Sub C is the latest edition (came out about a year ago) with the squarer case, larger lugs and ceramic (C) bezel.
